Amber Crystal Treasured Jar

When I travel I enjoy seeing the geodes, gems, and petrified wood that various rock stores carry. I started a collection quite a number of years ago. Now I find I want to share them by using them in my raku. On this jar I had made an abstract pair of cupped leaves joined at top point. It seemed a natural hollow to put a raw gem. The luscious colors that developed in the firing just screamed amber. I found this chunk of stone fit beautifully in that hollow. I chose amber colored lamp worked glass beads to futher decorate the jar. This is my first and at the moment the only raw gem in my work. The stones around the jar are not included in the price.
